LITTLE JOE MAKES HIS MARK!

In the early days of TV, one of the longest running series was BONANZA, a western featuring the Cartwright brothers, the youngest of whom was called "Little Joe." When Joseph started going by Joe, since he was our youngest, "Little Joe," would pop into my mind. As Seth returned home from BYUH, Joseph was competing in Track and Field. He had only the semi-finals and District finals to go, which are the end of the season for middle school. Joe had won or come in at the top of several races, so he was set to qualify for Districts in the 2400, the 1600, and the 800, but he could only run two of those at District. Since the 2400 was a new race for middle school this year, Joe knew he had a chance to hold the school record, so he chose the 2400 and the 800 to compete in for the final District races. We were very proud to see Joe reach his goal and PR in the 2400. He holds the school record at this time. WAY TO GO JOE! Joe is ending a good school year with accomplishments in academics as well . . . high grades and membership in National Junior Honor Society. He garnered top marks in solo performances in piano and violin as well! Way to make your mark Joe! Reaching high to achieve worthy goals and leaving a top mark is something to cheer! We are glad to have Little Joe still in our nest, he's fun to have around and it's a pleasure to watch him GO!
